You might have to compromise on the Chateau but there are lots of other options. : ) And<br />French schools are worth sending your kids to just for the midday meals!Lynnehttp://www.lynnerees.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451211466898351699.post-74342497999614452202011-08-20T15:18:49.727+01:002011-08-20T15:18:49.727+01:00Your writing is really moving at the moment, Lynne...Your writing is really moving at the moment, Lynne.

It's a nice story that you were able to get to know your step granddaughter - and also renew the process this summer. People don't really change at the core but get warped and stretched by what happens to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451211466898351699.post-13131472559557564442011-08-12T20:06:01.766+01:002011-08-12T20:06:01.766+01:00The trouble with France is its full of French, onl...The trouble with France is its full of French, only it isn’t, and historically never has. Yet the distance between the peoples of Britain and France is not so large, speaking with our friends there is like listening to our selves; worries about employment, education, immigration, high taxes, pensions, health, what a thousand years journey we have in common. <br /><br />Truth is were it not for money and language I’d live there tomorrow, not in the glare of a twinkly blue sea, no, a derelict Chateau on a Vendee mound where only a single room in the tower is habitable, I’d listen to the shutters banging in the breeze and imagine Republican troops had arrived for my Monarchist head.
